Tell you a secret.
If you want attend games and talk to coaches and players, become a sportswriter. But if you want to actually watch the end of games, remain a fan.
That’s why I tell you now that the Detroit Lions’ 27-23 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday … felt like a win.
It did. It felt, smelled and tasted like a win.
I’m not sugarcoating the stinging loss. I’m not awarding the Lions a moral victory. What I’m saying is that for most of Sunday, the Lions controlled that game and seemed to have a victory easily in hand.
